This is not a dream. This is not a cruel joke. Sleeve-rolling of the Army Combat Uniform has really been approved, forcewide.

Soldiers everywhere rejoice. Senior Army leaders have approved rolled sleeves across the force.

After a 10-day pilot at Fort Hood, Texas, Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley has decided to allow sleeve-rolling with the camo facing out. Lt. Gen. James McConville, the Army G-1, signed a memo Tuesday finalizing the change.

Nice. Now go back to the BDU, give them shinable black leather boots, and they can look like a military branch again.

I always thought it was wired seeing that side out. At least it's easier than the way we do it in the Navy. I can never roll them right so I just leave them down year round.

Can't roll up if you have tattoos showing. I always wondered how much cooler it actually makes you. Had a Marine reclass that said he never really noticed a difference.

I'm only now learning that you couldn't roll the sleeves up. Back in HS I rocked the sleeves up in my ABU in all weather.

The army has always rolled them up. It's only been since the ACU came out that you couldn't, newb.
